How to Make a Loud Air Horn

- Need a loud horn? I will show you how to make this DIY horn in just a little bit of time using items you probably already have around the home (everything is easy to find in stores if you don't have what you need). This approach repurposes plastic bottles but you can make them larger or smaller by using different size containers which will also give you different sounds. It is creative and fun so experiment and make if to fit your need. The size bottle used in the video makes a great noisemaker for celebrations, sporting events, having fun with kids, annoying your friends or roommates, being silly or just merely to have some fun making something for yourself. I have even seen this used quite successfully for pranks (you can make one loud enough to really make someone jump... so just in case, be careful who is around you).
Helpful hint: thick plastic bottles are easier to work with! I recommend using wide mouth plastic bottles, 1/2" or 3/4" PVC (roughly 3" longer than the bottle), thick rubber balloons (rubber dish gloves work great too), rubber bands and masking tape.
In future videos I will have louder and more elaborate horns... even one perfect for use with an air compressor. The basic principle and design are used for this horn, truck horns and even train horns.

If you liked this video you may also like a newer horn design that is a bit bigger and louder: Make a Loud Horn from a Pringles Can - Amazing Result. ruclips.net/video/UlbgtwChl3M/видео.html. I show 3 builds with different repurposed materials.
This design seems a lot easier to work with than another one I saw! Especially when connecting it to a hose.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for checking out my video! I appreciate you stopping by DID.

neighbours keep fucking yelling past 23:00. so will this air horn.
Thanks for the video boss.I made it it works!
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to watch the vid and for commenting!
Great Tutorial!! God Bless!! :D
Thank you very much! I appreciate the feedback.
Neat. Theoretically you could make two of the deeper tones and with the right fittings put them on a dual connect direct drive compressor. I'd use better rubber but. As for me. I have two horns on my bicycle. i made my own brk lights turn signals an decided it needed a horn. I bought those cheap harbor freight plastic high pitch ones. If you take the trumpet off the smaller one and wrap electrical tape around it. Playing around with the tightness and seal. The additional length makes it deeper and also make almost a stutter sound
Great points and I love the bike set-up ideas! I am actually posting another horn video this week where I used three different types of flexible material for the diaphragms. This next version gets great sound with volume. I have only used compressors with solid diaphragms in the past (i.e. DIY truck or train horns) but I'm going to keep "tinkering" and see what I can come up with next. Thanks for the comment!
good video your channel needs to grow!
Thank you very much for the nice feedback...I really appreciate it! Thanks also for checking out my video!
This is not what I searched up but I was not disappointed.
Ah cool... glad it turned out to be a pleasant surprise 😁 Thanks for watching and taking time to post a comment.
@@DialedInDIY np. Keep up the good work 👌

David Wearne lmao
HAHAHa I had the same thingin mind LOL
Dual purpose
I hope your chanel grows
+pilot and animelover Thank you very much. I hope you are enjoying watching the videos as much as I enjoy making them.
+Dialed In DIY I also just started a chanel. I got 11 subs in 3 vids. but my name is sorta akward cus I made this name for gmail and Google plus and cus of the name changing policy I need to wait some time before I can change it. also. I think I'm uploading another vid today so I'm kinda looking forward to it. and damn you speak fast.
pro tip: let the flame of a lighter gently lick the sanded plastic to completely smooth it out where you sanded and make the mouth piece feel nicey NICE
Another great alternative MBT! Much quicker than sandpaper too (gives it a nice rounded appearance). Thanks for the feedback!
A 12V relay with harness. Wire it correctly to direct drive compressor. Momentary switch. its easy i used an old garage door opener back up battery. charge it on a float charger
Very creative idea!
Nice.
Thank you very much!!
God bless you
PRANAVAN TECH Well thank you very much!
Sorry, I didn't get you, what did you do to make the sound louder?
Thanks for asking (and for watching). The first thing I did was make the pen opening wider to allow more air to get into the bottle quickly - this helps to increase the sound. Second, make sure the diaphragm (balloon) is tight. It should sound like a mini drum when you tap it. The thicker the rubber the better it works too. Third, I played with the PVC diameter and length. Each changed the sound made but I found I got more volume out of the larger diameter PVC pipe. Hope that helps! Thanks again for checking out my video!
have you considered lengthening the output and adding tuning holes? seems like that would be an interesting instrument....
I have done that with a different design & smaller diameter output but I like the idea allot. I think I will give it a shot and hook it up to a compressor for some extra fun! Great idea!!
A 1/2 inch PVC pipe fits almost perfectly inside the neck of a plastic soda bottle.
I typed a long comment an my RUclips updated on my phone an poof it was gone. lol
I was thinkin... those cheap harbor freight air horns... If I retrofit a funnel which will create a longer trumpet then it should produce a deeper sound provided I make the new trumpet fit in the same fashion the old one did? Hmmm now I wanna try...
Bummer about the lost type... I hate it when that happens. The video I'm posting within then next 12 hours is another horn build which does use a long funnel as a bell at the end and it really does make a significant difference. I'd love to hear how it works out on your HF horns if you try that approach.
I’m going to try use a hose in place of the pvc pipe
I'd luv see u make one that u can attach to a bike and use a pump to trigger
GAMZEE
I made some huge versions of these and they make a super low loud sound.
Very nice!... thanks for the comment. Did you still use bigger bottles of some kind?
Dialed In DIY Ya, I used some large Gatorade bottles.
Great idea! Gatorade still uses thicker plastic bottles so I bet your horns were still sturdy even with a bigger bottle.
Dialed In DIY Yep.
Does that mean you love everything?
Lol... guessing I said something in the video that you are commenting on (sorry, I don't remember... I will have to re-watch my vid to see). Thanks for taking time to comment!
The Red Balloon Bottle sounds like a Leslie A200 Locomotive Horn
Oh cool... I'm going to re-watch my video and listen again to hear that one. Thank you for taking time to watch my video and post a comment. I really appreciate it!
@@DialedInDIY ruclips.net/video/wkaBW6X_-Fs/видео.html
can I buy one because it's hard to make
Sorry for the delayed response. I'm not set up for any kind of sales but if you are just in the hunt for a loud horn, then there are usually some good options at party stores. Would that work?
Nice videos. Maybe slow down in talking speed when explaining what parts are needed. I had to rewind to actually hear what you said.
+BubbLeT Great point! I have actually begun adding the list of materials or key parts in many of my descriptions to help with that. After your feedback I have also gone back into this video and added that information here as well. Thank you for your thoughts, I really appreciate it!
No problem. Keep up the great vids!
4:03 that's what she said
Or as we say in our house now... "Michael Scott!" Our silly way of keeping it under the radar with little kid ears close by. Sorry for the delay in reply... I really do appreciate that you took the time to watch and post a comment!
